Confronted by her ex-boyfriend Mario Falcone, the 21-year-old fitness fan was asked if she would reconsider a relationship with him.

The lothario told his ex: "It sort of feels like both of us are saying one thing to other people but then saying something completely different to one another.”

Adding: “The last eight months - everything I’ve done, where I’ve learnt from my mistakes and grown up has all been for you. It’s true - you know it is.”

Mario finished: "Pascal is amazing and stuff but in the back of my mind I still think of you which isn’t right...it's not something that’s going to go away. It’s up to you - think about it…”

But it seems Lucy isn't ready for that move just yet as she tweeted after the show aired: "What a finale! Thanks for all your lovely messages.. I'm enjoying some time on my own at the mo & my main priority right now is my career!x"

We think that's a wise move.
